Chapter 726: Dungeon-Crawling with Friends!
“4AM-Aluka killed himself with frag grenade!”
On the other side of the car, in the water, Liu Zilang watched his opponent who was a pain to deal with suddenly blow himself up. He was stunned momentarily…
He found the ID of the person who had blown himself up to be somewhat familiar…
He took a closer look and was stunned silly.
It was… Aluka!
All the questions he had were solved in an instant. For the first time since forever, he felt touched.
‘What a righteous comrade!
‘My good friend from Hua Xia!’
He guessed that Aluka must have known that he was his opponent all along, and he had blown himself up so that the best Hua Xia player could go on to win the Solo King t.i.tle.
Liu Zilang was not one to have his teammate’s sacrifice to end up in vain. He quickly swept up the contents of Aluka’s crate.
Meanwhile, Aluka stood up from his seat, despondent. As he pa.s.sed by Liu Zilang’s side, their eyes met.
Liu Zilang flashed a toothy grin!
Aluka was instantly wrecked with sorrow!
‘How can that shameless guy still be smiling?
‘He’ s… such a meanie!’
In the match, after Liu Zilang had taken his fill from Aluka’s loot crate, he did not leave the scene by boat.
The reason he jumped at Sosnovka Military Base was to bolster his kill count. He only had four kills on his name so far.
Two people had died directly or indirectly thanks to him. However, their deaths were not counted in his name.
Liu Zilang fully understood his situation.
If the top three players in the overall rankings did not suffer an early death or were not impeded by some other special circ.u.mstance, him winning the chicken dinner might not suffice.
If Liu Zilang had the slightest intention of winning the Solo King t.i.tle and the weapon skins, he would have to risk it for the biscuit.
The only way for him to reclaim the top spot was to score the highest kill count possible. There was no use playing defensively to score ranking points.
He did not hesitate any longer.
The small yellow car was already submerged in the sea and was out of commission. Liu Zilang quickly remembered that Aluka had parked a vehicle at the residential area near the crossroads at the end of the bridge.
He jogged his way up to the residential area and was delighted to find a hard-top jeep.
Jeeps were a lot tougher than other vehicles and could take far more damage.
It was the best vehicle to drive on a bridge.
Even though no activity had come from the bridge while they were fighting, the probability of someone blocking his way on the bridge was still very high. Liu Zilang did not expect the ride across the bridge to be smooth-sailing.
The truth was, someone was actually blocking the bridge.
Under the caster’s camera, someone was seen sticking his head out and looking left and right behind the wall of the gas station near the end of the east bridge.
Just one person blocking the bridge would have been good news. However, from G.o.d’s perspective, the live audience could see other people other than him lurking about the gas station.
On the rooftop of the building next to the T-junction… At the second-story window of a building at the edge of Mylta… many people had their sights on the east bridge that led out of Sosnovka Island.
As one of Sosnovka Island’s chokepoints, people who came out from there had to be stuffed to the brim with equipment and items. If they could snag a crate from one of those people, there was nothing for them to worry about for the rest of the match.
On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.
“Hiss! Quite a lot of people are aiming at the east bridge. Should Vic consider leaving by sea?”
“I don’t think that thought ever crossed his mind. He’s already in the middle section of the bridge now.”
“We can see that the player at the gas station is Frolicer, the sniper of team C9. The one on the rooftop near the T-junction is Mossy, the rifler of team Gates.”
“As for the one in Mylta, I believe our viewers are familiar with him. He’s the Devil King, Shroud.”
“These three players are well-hidden in their positions. They won’t be exposed as long as no one comes from the bridge. Vic might find it hard to sneak past them.”
“Heheh, looks like the bridge is somewhat of a dungeon for Vic. Two mid-level bosses in front and then a devil king boss at the back. I wonder if he can clear it in one life.”
“You know what’s the scariest thing? He might be fighting the mid-boss on level one, when the level two and three bosses suddenly attack from their nests. Now, that’s an infuriating three-on-one situation. I think that’s what’s most likely going to happen to Vic.”
“That’s not impossible. I think another possibility might be that after the three bosses expose themselves, they might find each other hunting in their ‘territory’. Don’t you think that it’s also possible that they might fight among themselves?”
Lord Rong and Ruo Feng sunk into thought after hearing Su Changming’s opinion.
Meanwhile, Liu Zilang had carefully driven across the long bridge on his hard-top jeep and had arrived on land.
The three people were full of spirit when they heard the jeep coming from afar.
‘Finally, someone’s here!’
One had to know that those people had started camping at their respective spots as soon as the first circle appeared.
If no one had arrived by the end of the second circle, they would have suffered great losses from their gamble.
Liu Zilang’s appearance had given them hope that they could at least break even.
The three people stood up together at their different positions and took out their guns.
Gunfire suddenly erupted!
Swish swish swis.h.!.+
Three dragons made of fire appeared at three different locations, a.s.sailing Liu Zilang’s hard-top jeep.
Clink clank clunk!
Sparks flew from the jeep’s cha.s.sis. The sounds they produced made one’s teeth chatter!
Liu Zilang who was in the jeep was shocked!
He had guessed that he would be intercepted at the end of the bridge, but not in such a grand fas.h.i.+on.
‘Collusion!’ he scowled. Quickly swapping to the backseat, he jumped out of the jeep and hid behind its rear.
Fortunately, he was not at the spot where the three lines of fire converged.
He did suffer one hit, but hiding behind the jeep had put him beyond their lines of fire.
With his back against the jeep, Liu Zilang crouched and urgently applied a bandage. Recovering one’s health level was paramount.
At this time, he noticed that blood was spurting out of his heel.
He watched a small chunk of his health get whittled off, and he was shocked!
‘Is there someone else?’
Splat!
Another bullet hit his foot.
“Oh! The devil king Shroud is ‘fixing’ his feet!” the commentary platform cried in surprise!
Liu Zilang reacted quickly in the match. Even though the loss of health was minor, he could not withstand being shot at by his opponent!
His situation had suddenly become dire…
…
